Abstract

A brake caliper that has the same performance as a brake caliper with multiple pistons despite its compact structure, in which drag resistance between a brake pad and a brake disk is minimized, that is less likely to produce non-uniform wear of brake pad and brake squealing, and whose weight and cost are suppressed. Pistons (23) are formed in a circular hollow cylindrical shape, and apply pressing force to a disk rotor (1) by circular pressing parts. Piston-containing holes (21) recessed in a circular shape and containing the pistons (23) so that they can slide in the axial direction of the pistons are formed in caliper bodies (100, 105).
